Today is Dr. Seuss’s birthday, and people all around the world are celebrating! Well, at least all around America.

I can’t speak for the rest of the world, but in the United States, some elementary school classes set up day-long parties. My second grade class had a great celebration. We decorated the room with pictures of characters from the stories, hung up streamers, put together a skit that we performed for our parents, tried green eggs and ham…

I don’t know what other schools and classes do, but we had a great time. Dr. Seuss had always been an important part of my childhood, so the day meant and still means a lot to me.

If you’ve never read a Dr. Seuss book, you definitely should. Today’s the perfect day to discover what your childhood was missing. And if you have read a Dr. Seuss book, find your favorite and re-read it today.

Just spend today being a kid again.

And think about the lessons those books taught you. Every book Dr. Seuss wrote had meaning, some sort of lesson it was supposed to teach. Courage, humility, trust, individuality… The lessons were endless.

I know for a fact they taught me a lot. I wouldn’t be who I am now without them.

*(Note: I don’t know what else I can say other than, you guys have spoken. You guys were so encouraging about me posting my dark poetry, so… I’ve decided I will, and this one’s going first. Thank you all so much, and I hope you enjoy!)
